The American Institute Meeting.

The 5Sth annual meeting of the Ameri
can Institute of Instruction which came
to a pleasant close by a largely attended
reception at the Billings Library on Fri
day evening was said by the members to
have been one of the most enioya-
BILE, instructive and successful meet
ings ever held by the Institute. The
number in attendance was so not large as
had been expected, but the meetings were
ably conducted and instructive. The more
than 500 teachers who were present made
good attendance, but the number would
have been several hundred larger had it
not been for the extremely hot weather.
Many who had engaged rooms cancelled
their orders on account of the hot, dry
weather. But those who came expressed
themselves as highly pleased with their
visit here and as fully satisfied with the
entertainment provided and the hospital
ity shown them by our citizens. vet
erau officer of the Institute who has at
tended every meeting for number of
years says that as regards the interest in
the exercises the reception accorded the
association by the people and the eXcur-
sion attractions offered the meeting here
has not been surpassed. The teachers
without exception were delighted with
the Queen City and its surrounding scenic
attractions. The excursions on the lake
attracted large crowds and the members
of the institute who visited Ausable
Chasm, Ticonderoga, Cedar Beach and
Providence island were enthusiastic over
the natural beauty a"d picturesqueness
of these famous resorts. The favorable
impression left upon the minds of the Wis
iting teachers during their sojourn in
Burlington will be disseminated through
out New England and can not but be
conducive to the fair fame and good repu-
tation of our beautiful city.

THE RUTLANDS WIN.
THE BuRLlNGToNs DEFEATED BY A
SCORE OF 8 TO3.
The Queen city Team Could Not Pound
Out Enough Hits and Made Altogether
Too Many Errors-When Are They
to DO Better?

RUTLAND, July s.-The second game
between the Burlington and Rutland
mines here to-day resulted in favor of Rut-
land by a score of to 3. The game was
well played, but there were costly errors
made by both Mines Peren and Harris
were the battery for Rutland with Line
han and Granville for Burlington. Rut-
lands heavy hitters failed to bat Line
han as freely as they are accustomed
to a good many opposing pitchers,
but they got on to him to the extent
of 10 hits, while Burlington struck Peren
for eight. Burlington's ten errors told
seriously in the result, but it was evident
that Burlington had a strong nine and
their battery did some excellent work dur
ing the game. The field was especially
well covered. Lincoln made several cost
ly errors ON first base. Granville put out
10 men and assisted twice, but had
to add two errors to the list. Wal
tiers in the third made two-bagger
and Kittredge in the fourth inning did a
similar good bit of batting. For the Visi
tors good hitting was done by Lincoln in
the third inning and McGuirk III the
fourth. There was good attendance.
VadeboncOeur, Harmon and Aiken OF the
home team were laid off, Say, Walters and
Kittredge doing good work in their places.

MRS. MARY IL. HUNT.
A Denial that She is Making Money out of
the Temperance Text FOOLS.

Mrs. Mary H. Hunt of Hyde Park, Mas
sachusetts, known for her zeal in Scien-
tific Temperance Education has been
made life director of the National
Teachers Institute and will deliver an
address at the Chicago meeting next week
upon the theme, "What shall we teach
our children ?" We are informed by one
of her townsmen, of Hyde Park, Massa-
chusetts, that instead of having received
any pecuniary benefit as has been alleged
from the Temperance Text books, which
she has endorsed she has paid out more
than $4,000 to authors and publishers, in
the endeavor to bring them to prepare
books for schools. The effort began in
1879, and 30 States and territories, beside
Congress have enacted laws, prepared by
her, or under her personal effort.

five miles from North Hudson. The coal

the matter secret to himself and family

LAKE CHAMPLAIN SEA SERPENT.


Our East Charlotte correspondent writes
as follows: "a company of East Charlotte
people who were holding a picnic the
other day on the shore of G. w. Fields
north bay, aver that they saw something
which they believe must have been the
Champlain sea serpent. 1t came suddenly
around low promontory, in full view of
the company, with very peculiar motions
IN the water. The head, and at intervals,
considerable portions of the body were
visible above the surface, while several
yards off agitated water in the rear rather
indicated that there was much of the
monster not visible. At first it made right
toward the company, as though intending
to devour viands, picnicers and all but
when some of the more nervous and eX-
ctable among the ladies rained notes of
alarm it quickly faced to the rghtabout
and disappeared. The parties who saw it
are all reputable people and they had no
beverages stronger than milk and lem
onade.'

THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
HOW THE SCIENCE OF MEDICINE HAS
BEEN HAMPERED.
Etchics' Worse than Eastern
Caste A Letter From IA Physician who
Follows the SCHOOL" But Pre-
fers Humanity to"Profession-
al Ethics"

While the medical profession has made great
progress within the century, it is an acllnowl-
edged fact that progress has not been as great
as that made in other sciences. This is un-
doubtedly due to that inhibutiOn the profess
ion has laid on itself, and known as profess
sional ethics There ought TO be but
one school of medicine, ana they should
embrace every known medicine and
treatment That such is not the case,
is seen in the existence of the allopdtn-
ic, homeopathic, and the eclectic schools.
These differences are due to the pro
fessional ethics which prohibit one
school from following the practice of another.
professional ethics is akin to caste in the
eastern countries, u deadly enemy to pro-
grcss.
Occasionally, however, a physician is found
who rises above the seilshness of profession
a ethics, and comes out ilat-footed for the
people and the proprietary medicine that Will

An exam ole of such Il man, is DR.. j. n. Chen

his partner have toy all odds, the largest prac-
tiCe in the county. So high does DR.. Cheney
stand in the estimation of his fellow cOuntiy v
men, that he has been elected Clerk of the
superior Court for nine consecutive times
and he holds that office to-day. That he is Il

thorized to seek Il knowledge of his character
from any prominent public man in Georgia,
